"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Remove milk or cream from fridge and leg stand at room temperature while preparing potatoes. Peel sweet potatoes and cut them in large chunks. Put them in a pan with enough salted water to cover - bring to a boil. Reduce heat and boil, covered about 25 min. or until very tender. Drain and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the butter, brown sugar, salt, and spices to the potatoes. Partially mash with hand masher, add 2 tbsp of the milk, mashing a bit more, until blended but still slightly bumpy. Add a little more milk, blend to desired consistency, transfer to a warm dish and serve.
